background image

How do I use an image for a background without it repeating/tiling itself? I just want the one image as the background - one tile, not repeated over and over. Is there code for that, or is it more complicated?

I'm actually working on this page remotely until my mom's web hosting goes through.. then I can put it on the web. (She is having me do this webpage for her)..

I did find this at idocs.com--
BGPROPERTIES creates a "watermark" on the page, a background image which does not scroll with the rest of the page. BGPROPERTIES must be used with the value FIXED. BGPROPERTIES, a MSIE extension, must be used with the BACKGROUND attribute.

So what that does is allow the text to scroll, but the background to stay put. I have this background that kind of looks like a frame of flowers. I don't want it to repeat a hundred times on the page like you would want a seamless background to do. I just want the one image. Ehh.. why does she want this background..

Background Trouble

I am having a problem with getting my background with a left side border not to repeat. My friend gave me the code bgproperties="fixed" but it still repeats and now the left border is both a left and right border. I like this background that I made myself and I REALLY want to be able to use it. How can I make it work?
